Ghetto fabulous is a stereotype in lower income urban America. In this sense, it means individuals who have mentally created an affluent lifestyle while not always having any luxurious possessions or wealth. As a comedic device it often dramatizes and draws attention to life in the ghetto. For example, in the motion picture B*A*P*S (or Black American Princesses), the protagonists pretend to belong to an upper-economic class, but in reality they live a lifestyle that is full of superficial glamour also known as ghetto fabulous.
Ghetto fabulous style has moved into the mainstream along with hip-hop and rap music icons adopting the style though sometimes calling the fashion "uptown couture" with common "ghetto fabulous" styles mixed with couture labels, including new upscale/designer labels created by hip-hop moguls including Sean Combs, Jay-Z, and Kimora Lee Simmons.

Η ερώτησή μου: το μεταφράζουμε ή το αφήνουμε αμετάφραστο; Στους υποτίτλους μου αναφέρεται επανειλημμένα, και σε πολλά σημεία ζητάει μετάφραση, επειδή λέει π.χ. για κάποιον που εκπροσωπεί το στυλ ghetto fabulous:
He really embodies it to the point of he's not even ghetto, he's just straight fabulous.
